As a self-publisher, you not only have to write the book, but you have to take on all the other roles of a traditional publisher as well. This includes editing, formatting, gathering cover art, and more. Below are some sites that will assist you in these areas. It is by no means complete and I will updated as I can. If you would like your service to be included, please contact me.
